African Culture and Tradition - Traditional Dance. The Diola people, from southern Senegal, have music in their souls | Lawiso Travels

To 🥳🎉🎁 celebrate 🥳🎉🎁 reaching 20,000 FOLLOWERS, here is a dance scene where the principle is precisely to FOLLOW : someone improvises their own dance while others FOLLOW them, sharing not only their movements, but also their culture, imaginary and singularity. Simultaneously, this very simple choreographic structure creates a sense of community . This group dance is an excerpt from the piece Gala (2015). Concept and direction: Jérôme Bel Assistant: Maxime Kurvers Dancers: Taous Abbas, Cédr

Dans la culture diola (ou jola), l’ekonting tient une place importante en tant qu'instrument traditionnel et identitaire. Il ne s'agit pas simplement d'un instrument de musique, mais d’un symbole culturel fort. #visitecasamance #voyagedecouverte #travelguide | Aventure Destination Sénégal
